Grounding instructions

- This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING

For model 0564 6562 01 and 0564 6563 01: This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit and has a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in sketch A in the figure below.

Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.

WARNING

Risk of electric shock due to Improper installation of the grounding plug.

- When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.

- The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

- Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Oilfilling

- Remove the oil fill cap and add oil until oil level showed in the middle between the Min and Max mark. Please refer to technical data in manual for the correct oil capacity.

CAUTION

Danger of oil spillage in case of fast filling.

During operation

CAUTION

Risk of electric shock.

- Do not expose to rain and store indoors.

- As long as the vacuum pump is not connected to the refrigeration circuit, it should not be running more than 3 minutes.

• The ambient temperature affects the viscosity of the oil and therefore also the pump performance. Therefore the pump should be operated only at ambient temperature between 5-40°C.
• It is recommended to pre-flush the system with nitrogen to speed up the drying process. This step can also be repeated during evacuation to ensure the best possible drying.
• The use of shorter hoses or the removal of the Schrader valve can significantly speed up evacuation.
• Use vacuum-compatible refrigerant hoses, otherwise leaks may occur or you may not achieve the desired vacuum target.
• To prevent overheat and oil spill out from oil filter: The inlet fitting can't expose to the atmosphere over 5 minutes while the pump is running.
• Please pay attention to the smooth air outlet, if found clogged please clean the filter.
• Clean/replace the catcher after using more than 3 months to avoid problems caused by a blocked pump.
